Transitions: Photochromatic Lenses

Transitions is the biggest brand name in Photochromatic lenses, meaning the lenses change from clear to dark when exposed to the Ultra Violet rays of the sun. The lenses are virtually clear when you are inside, or at night, or on a cloudy day. When you are outside on a bright sunny day, the lenses will darken to a medium sunglass shade of either grey (most popular) or brown. When it is partly sunny, the lenses will darken somewhat, depending on the strength of the UV rays present.﻿﻿

Polarized Gray and Brown

Polarized Grey & Brown - A polarized lens is regarded as the best sunglass lens you can buy. Most popular colors are grey and brown. Polarized lenses block glare from various surfaces including the sun, snow, sand, water, cars, and other surfaces that reflect the suns light.

In more technical terms, the polarization actually cuts out the light coming from the horizontal meridian while allowing in the light coming in from the vertical meridian. In other words, it blocks the light that reflects in from water, snow etc, reducing glare.﻿

All of our lenses are polycarbonate or include UV & scratch protection.NOTE: Polycarbonate Polarized Coppertone lenses make the best sunglasses.

Another option in colored lenses is a tint, which is an external coating, and remains constant at all times. Light tints are used primarily for cosmetic purposes to enhance a wearer's looks, while darker tints can be used as sunglasses, however polarized lenses are preferred for sun lenses, as described above. The most common tint colors are grey & brown. Tints are applied to lens materials through a process of absorption. Lenses are immersed into a warm color bath, and depending on the length of time they sit in the tank, emerge in varying shades of darkness.

Anti Glare coating can make lenses seem invisible, eliminates reflections that obscure the eyes. AR stops reflections on front and back surfaces causing annoying distractions that make it more difficult to see and add to eyestrain. Driving comfort and computer use are enhanced by reducing glare occurring in these activities. AR reduces glare and increases light transmission to 99%. This improves general vision especially for high index lenses and transitions that transmit less light.

Consistent, superior scratch protection for both sides of your lenses

For those wishing to protect their lenses with the best anti-scratch lens treatment, SafeVision® offers Ultimate Anti-Scratch Coating (UASC).

UASC treated lenses offer consistent, superior protection on both sides of your lenses. UASC integrates glass-like silica particles into its polymer matrix. They impart a hardness, durability and scratch-resistance superior to other scratch-resistant technologies. The polymer matrix is designed to expand and contract with the lens, reducing the opportunity for the lens to crack. The end result of this technology is a tough, yet flexible lens.

UASC bonding process

UASC's unique polymerization process creates the most durable bond possible on both sides of the lens. This ensures a perfect bond to the lens without any contaminants.

When you purchase UASC treatment, you have the option to purchase one (1) new set of lenses from SafeVision® at half the price paid on your original order, within 12 months of your original order processing date.

You have probably tried many products that claimed to be "Anti-Fog", and none of them have worked for you (nor for us either). You are probably very skeptical and have concluded no product will work for you. We want you to try our new products. We have tested them and they work. We would not sell them if they didn't.

PAF is a treatment available on new lenses made by SafeVision. PAF can not be added to existing lenses. PAF is applied in a multi layer process similar to other premium SafeVision® coatings, including Anti Glare & TD2 Scratch Coating.

SafeVision is proud to distribute the best anti-fog wipe on the market, DEFOG-it.DEFOG-It has been rigorously tested on the most popular brands of lenses and coatings, including Transitions and Anti-Glare coatings, and compared to the most popular brands of anti-fog. The results prove that while other products fog immediately in tests, DEFOG-It stays clear – even after simulations of moving from cold to hot environments 100 times.

SafeVision has independently tested DEFOG-It in varying conditions, including "Cold to Hot" and Vigorous Steam, and the treated lenses WILL-NOT-FOG-UP, period.

The wipes are reusable so don't throw them away. You can store them in the original individual packet. Wipes remain effective for at least 5 treatments to the front & back of your lenses. When the Anti-Fogging properties diminish, simply give the lenses a good wipe down with your DEFOG-It wipe.

The conclusive results & reusable feature of DEFOG-It wipes make it the most effective and economical anti-fog wipe you can buy!
